I found a cd-rom for Dinosaur Hunter, but when I try to install it for my son, it doesn't install the sound portion, and when I try to run it, it says that the sound wasn't installed properly and that I have to re-install. What could be wrong and how do I fix the problem? Is there any kind of installation software that I can download to get it to play?

Try running the install in compatibility mode for windows xp. Do this by exploring the cd rom, right clicking the setup file, and select compatibility, run this program in compatibility mode for win XP sp2.

XP should be able to run it because they're backwards compatible with all Windows 98 software. Check your sound card in the Device Manager and verify the device and its' driver are installed. If not, re-install the driver for your sound card.

Confirm that the CD drive is not a CD-ROM dive and the CD you are trying to open is is not a DVD. CD-ROM drive wil not open a DVD ROM and in some cases will cause the system to stop responding if youtry to run it.

Go to the start menu, and find the games executable icon. Right click on it and select properties. Then click the tab that says compatibility, select run this program in compatibility mode, and choose windows xp service pack 2. That should get you up and running once you click ok, then start your game.

I have found the solution to help you all. You all need to download a small patch which only took 5 seconds for me. The website is http://support.selectsoft.com/products/D/LDDINHUNTJ.htm#Downloads

you need to click on DKSP1.exe under Downloads which is in blue on the left side of the page at the top. Once downloaded you can go to your game and play. This should help and i hope it does.Happy game playing!
